Solution

The correct option is C

Directional property


  1. During the middle ages, crude navigational compasses were made by attaching pieces of lodestone to wooden splints floating in bowls of water; These splints were always found to come to rest in a North-South direction and were the forerunners of the modern aircraft and ship compasses.
  2. A compass has directional properties.
  3. Thus, the directional property of a magnet is used in navigation.

Thus, option(C) is the correct answer.
